Description

Plasticizing polylactic acid containing PHA
Related application
The right of the U.S. Provisional Application to submit to number on June 21st, 61/345,458 and 2010 of U.S. Provisional Application that this application requires on May 17th, 2010 to submit to numbers 61/356,986.Whole instructions of above-mentioned application are incorporated herein by reference.
Background of invention
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is known biodegradable commercialization bio-based polymers in industrialization compost environment.The second-order transition temperature of PLA for about 55-60 DEG C and its can according to its stereochemistry and processing conditions highly crystalline.Its highly crystalline as a result, PLA has the tensile modulus of about 2-3GPa, it is far above polyethylene and polyacrylic tensile modulus.But the toughness of PLA is considered to suitable low and can not meet a lot of application usually.
PLA and other additive and polymer blending are increased the trial of the toughness of PLA by existing several.At internet " natureworksllc " the upper PLA found one of supplier, NatureWorks, describes some polymer blend method for increasing PLA toughness.Although some polymer blend method is promising, when considering the biological degradability of blend component, select to become very limited.
One section of survey article recently (K.S.Anderson, etc., Polymer Reviews, 48,85 (2008)) describe the multiple method adopting the different toughness reinforcing PLA of blend components.Some softening agent such as citrate contributes to the toughness improving PLA; But the increase of this toughness have lost tensile strength, it is reduced to about 1/7 (L.V.Labrecque, etc., Journal ofApplied Polymer Science, 66,1507 (1997)).Use low-molecular-weight polyoxyethylene glycol (PEG) as polymeric plasticizer as the toughness also improving PLA; But tensile strength is still damaged greatly, although do not reach the degree (M.Baiardo, etc., Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 90,1731 (2003)) of citrate plasticizer.Polycaprolactone (PCL) is biodegradable aliphatic polyester, itself and PLA are blended, the character prepared according to blend and the use of expanding material, toughness has the improvement (L.Wang of certain appropriateness, Deng, Polymer Degradation and Stability, 59,161 (1998); M.E.Broz, etc., Biomaterials, 24,4181 (2003); H.Tsuji and Y.Ikada, Journalof Applied Polymer Science, 60,2367 (1996); M.Hiljanen-Vainio, etc., Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, 197,1503 (1996)).Recently, PLA and polyacrylic acid reactively blending, then demonstrated with polyoxyethylene glycol physical blending in the solution keeps Young's modulus and tensile strength to be (R.M.Rasal likely for the toughness improving PLA simultaneously, D.E.Hirt, Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, 295, Iss.3,204 (2010)).But the method only makes the toughness of PLA improve about 10 times.
The increase of the most significant PLA toughness is reported in the U.S. Patent number 5,883 of McCarthy and its co-worker, in 199.In the present invention, the blend of PLA and polytetramethylene glycol succinate adipic acid ester (PBSA) (coming from the BIONOLLE3001 of Showa Highpolymer Co.Ltd (Japan)) has significant increase relative to PLA homopolymer in tensile toughness and elongation.Specifically, the PLA/PBSA blend of 70/30 (weight percent) shows tension fracture elongation rate increase about 50 times and tensile toughness increase about 25 times.But although PBSA is known Biodegradable high-molecular, it is synthesized by petrochemical material at present and is not therefore bio-based.
PHA (PHA) is the unique material solving PLA tough sex chromosome mosaicism because PHA easily and PLA blended, they are all bio-based and biodegradable in many different environment.PLA/PHA blend has been prepared by several research group and has characterized.These comprise the blend of PLA and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate ester (P3HB) homopolymer and 3-hydroxybutyrate ester-hydroxyl valerate (PHBV) multipolymer, it is presented at the little improvement (J.S.Yoon to PLA toughness under the Pitch-based sphere of 10-30wt%, W.S.Lee, K.S.Kim, I.J.Chin, M.N.Kim and C.Kim, European Polymer Journal, 36,435 (2000); B.M.P.Ferreira, C.A.C.Zavaglia and E.A.R.Duek, Journalof Applied Polymer Science, 86,2898 (2002); I.Noda, M.M.Satkowski, A.E.Dowrey and C.Marcott, Macromolecular Bioscience, 4,269 (2004); K.M.Schreck and M.A.Hillmeyer, Journal of Biotechnology, 132,287 (2007)).Noda and co-worker (I.Noda thereof, M.M.Satkowski, A.E.Dowrey and C.Marcott, Macromolecular Bioscience, 4,269 (2004)) propose just to keep in amorphous time scale at PHA, the tensile toughness of PLA can be improved 7 times by 3-hydroxybutyrate ester-3-hydroxycaproic ester (P3HB-3HH) multipolymer adding 20wt%.It should be noted, according to the yardstick in the PHA region of dispersion, described time scale can control to reach 2-4 in theory.Although 80/20PLA/P3HB-3HH blend is seemingly likely, other be difficult to reappear this result (K.M.Schreck and M.A.Hillmeyer, Journal of Biotechnology, 132,287 (2007)).
Therefore, need to produce the poly(lactic acid) of repeatably mechanical property and the blend composition of PHA integrally combined thing to improvement.

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is bio-based, biodegradable, thermoplastic polyester, and scale operation at present and commercial applications scope are from non woven fibre to packaging film.The production of PLA is normally undertaken by the fermentation using bacteria of primverose (corn sugar) (dextrose (dextrose)), and first wherein said sugar be converted to lactic acid.Then use tin-based catalyst, by a series of building-up reactions, described lactic acid polymerizes is become poly(lactic acid).According to the type of the catalyzer adopted in synthesis, L or D-poly(lactic acid) (PLLA or PLDA) can be obtained.The degree of crystallinity of PLLA is 37%, T gfor ~ 50-60 DEG C and T mfor ~ 173-178 DEG C.It is reported that the mechanical property of PLLA is similar to PETE.Abbreviation PLA typically refers to PLLA structure formation.When PLLA and PLDA mixes, they can form the eutectic stereo complex with the performance (Tm is high 50 DEG C) strengthened than PLLA or PDLA.These are studied by as the Biodegradable material used under high temperature.
Have been found that the biological degradability of PLA occurs mainly through the hydrolysis of the polyester group existed in PLA.Degraded is two step processes substantially, and wherein said PLA decomposes, first at high humidity with at temperature (industry/municipal class compost) to produce chain or the lactic acid monomer of lower molecular weight.Second step is the microbial consumption that low-molecular-weight PLA and lactic acid are existed by nature.
At present, the sugared raw material sources of You Ji company produce PLA.These companies comprise NatureWorks (U.S.), Galactic (Belgium), Hycail (Holland), Toyota (Japan).NatureWorks, since two thousand three by the joint venture of Cargill (Jia Ji) and Teijin (Supreme Being people), is PLA resin manufacturer largest at present.
The shortcoming that PLA is processed into various product is that it is the material be highly brittle.Therefore, it must with other polymer blending to expand its process window in forming process.The potential problem of of this method is that the additive in PLA also can affect its biological degradability.The most successfully promote the processing of PLA and the additive adversely not affecting its degradation property is polybutylene succinate (PBS) or polybutylene succinate adipic acid ester (PBSA).PBS and PBSA is biodegradable aliphatic polyester.In PLA, add high molecular, the PBSA of extrusion grade (comes from Showa Highpolymer Co.Ltd, Japan) represent a significant improvement in overall flexibility (see, such as, U.S. Patent number 5,883,199, it is incorporated to herein at this by reference with its full content).70/30 blend of PLA/PBSA shows relative to PLA, its tension fracture elongation rate increase about 50 times, tensile toughness increase about 25 times.Although add PBSA do not damage the compostability of PLA in PLA, it dilutes Bio-based content, because PBS and PBSA is based on non-renewable petroleum.
PHA (PHA) is the unique solution addressed these problems because they be bio-based, biodegradable and easily and PLA blended.As disclosed herein, by rubbery state (T gbe about-15 DEG C to about-40 DEG C) as poly-4 hydroxybutyric acid ester PHA adds PLA to, following reaction is blended, improves tensile toughness and elongation, which is beyond that PLA/PBS or PLA/PBSA blend.
